The Wallabies have put any demons from Argentina behind them with an emphatic victory over South Africa.
Like the win over England in Perth, two late tries fail to reflect the quality of the performance from Dave Rennie's men in attack and defence as they stunned the world champions.

So what did we learn?
1.Koroibete krunch
There isn't a better winger in the world than Marika Koroibete at the moment.
Andrew Mertens crowned him man of the century during the call for Nine and after performances like that, he’ll go close in Wallabies fans' hearts.
It’s fitting the side heads to the Sydney Football Stadium next week, with Koroibete pulling off his best George Gregan impression and one of the best tackles in recent memory.
The Springboks looked certain to score when Tom Wright was yellow carded, opening the space for Makazole Mapimpi.
Koroibete had no right to stop Mapimpi, but his tireless work ethic and breakneck speed gave him enough time to race across wings and force a mistake.
This summed up his first half, racing around the field like Rugby’s energiser bunny to force big hits and create chances.
He was everywhere for the Wallabies and the best player on the park by the length of the straight, scoring a well deserved try in the second half
2. Strong start
The Wallabies talked up the importance of a strong start and found it instantly through Fraser McReight after 62 seconds.
What will please Dave Rennie the most is just how slick the work was from the forwards to set it up.
Folau Fainga’a started the movement, put into a hole by Matt Philip before Allan Alaalatoa hit a charging McReight under the posts.
This is the true growth of the Wallabies under Rennie; an ability for 1-15 to execute basic ball handling skills under pressure and become threats across the park.
The starts were a key area that need improvement, with showings like this a step in the right direction.
3. Taking the Nic
There will be plenty of debate surrounding Faf de Klerk’s high tackle on Nic White that floored the Wallabies scrum half and whether it was the right call.
The contact was minimal and White’s late reaction only heightened the situation, taking a few seconds to drop back in exaggerated fashion into his own goal, something that you’d expect more to see in the round ball game.
Depending on which team you go for, you’ll see it two separate ways.
For Australians, it was a cheeky display of gamesmanship that took advantage of the situation perfectly.
As for South Africans, maybe White should cross the place off his travel list given how quickly fans were to edit his Wikipedia.
4. Line out worries
It was a game to forget for Folau Fainga’a and the line out.
The returning hooker lost four line outs in the first half, with a short option pumping the completion rate just over 50% for the half.
He then lost one straight after the break as the South Africans decoded their calls with ease.
It meant the Springboks could build constant pressure on the Wallabies line as they were trapped inside their own half.
Fortunately for the hosts, their incredible scramble defence and a wayward Handre Pollard kept the damage at just three points.
5. Adelaide adventures
The decision to take the game to Adelaide was a highly talked about decision but it definitely delivered.
In a non-Rugby state, the 36,366-strong crowd were given a treat with two high-quality games packed with action.
There were fans lined up over an hour before the Wallaroos game started and a decent mix of gold, green and even black jerseys within the crowd.
With 2027 on the horizon, it was a great audition for the state along with a perfect advertisement for afternoon Rugby.
